Haworthia ‘Golden Age’
Haworthia 'Golden Age' forms star-like rosettes of long, pointed pale green leaves with stripes through the translucent tips.
Haworthia is an intriguing genus related to Aloe native to southern Africa. Most form small rosettes of succulent foliage often with translucent tips or “light pipes” that allow light to enter into the leaves — which are often half buried in sand in the wild — for photosynthesis. ‘Golden Age’ forms star-like rosettes of long, pointed pale green leaves with stripes through the translucent tips. Colours can vary with stress and increased light. Easy to grow. Tolerant of lower light than other succulents and cool temperatures but best kept above freezing.
